An open-looking handicap could be blown out of the water courtesy of of COME ON BEAR, who takes advantage of escaping a penalty for her success last time; if replicating that form she should be hard to beat. The British Lion has to give weight all-round but has been running respectably off similar marks recently and should give the selection something to think about, while the likes of Drop Kick Murphi and and Major Assault have been running well without troubling the leaders - it may be the same case in this.
